I had the same issue. ERROR in Cannot find module 'less'

├── UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY file-loader@*
├── UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY less@^2.3.1
├── webpack@1.13.2 
└── webpack-dev-server@1.16.2 
npm WARN EPEERINVALID less-loader@2.2.3 requires a peer of less@^2.3.1 
but none was installed.
npm WARN EPEERINVALID url-loader@0.5.7 requires a peer of file-loader@* 
but none was installed.

I tried as follows:

npm install --save-dev less
npm install --save-dev file-loader

Then it solved the issues.
